Air Duct Cleaning Phoenix
Should I have my air ducts cleaned?
Yes, it is recommended to have your air ducts cleaned, especially in Arizona. The average six roomed home collects over 40 pounds of dust, allergens, and possible mold in its air ducts each year. Dust storms increase the amount of dust that gets trapped in your air ducts. Living in Arizona puts us on the higher end of the average due to the frequency of dust storms. Air duct cleaning therefore, ensures that the air circulating into your Phoenix home is healthy, safe, and free of pollutants.
Your Air Ducts
Your air duct system conveys forced heat and cooling into your home. Any pollutants or debris in your air ducts are also conveyed through forced heat and cooling. The pollutants and debris when combined with moisture can stick to the duct walls and become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and other micro-organisms. Furthermore, breathing dust and micro-organism on a regular basis can compromise your health. Cleaning your ducts ensures that the air circulating into your home is healthy, safe, and free of pollutants.
Cold Air Return: What is it, and why it should be cleaned.
The cold air return(s) is an integral part of the home ventilation system. The cold air return draws air from the home into the furnace. Unfortunately, it also draws in all the common debris present in homes such as carpet fiber, dust, pet hair, etc. Since the cold air return vent is the gateway to most debris and contaminants cleaning it is an important part of the air duct cleaning process.
The negative pressure method
The negative pressure method vacuums debris out of air ducts. The Deep Cleaning (Duct Brushing) is employed in cases where the ducts have not been cleaned regularly. In a moisture rich environment loose debris in the ducts mixes with the moisture and results in buildup on the walls of the ducts. This buildup hence provides an inviting environment for mildew, mold, and bacteria. A motorized rotating brush scrubs the air duct walls to remove the buildup.
Sanitization (Mold, mildew, and odor removal).
Air duct sanitizer is often recommended and applied after deep cleaning. It de-oxidizes the buildup remnants, removes odors, and retards future growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Specifically manufactured for air duct sanitation in homes, an EPA registered solution is applied and sanitizes the air ducts when sanitation is needed. It’s safe and leaves no toxic residue or odor. MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is also available upon request.
System
We use a 4×4 HEPA filtration vacuum designed by professional air duct manufacturer, Air-Care. This machine is capable of safely removing large amounts of dust and trapping it in the unit preventing the dust from recirculating in your home.
